As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光)from swinging in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But neednt have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps. Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jacks room. He was in bed awake but he didnt even turn towards me.Whats up, Jack? I said.For Gods sake(看在上帝面上), dont make a noise, he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury(伤害).Take your shoes off, Neville, Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (迁就)him to keep him happy, Theres a snake here he explained, Its asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldnt have moved even if Id wanted to. I realized that he was serious. I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home. Jack went on. It hasnt bitten me yet but I darent do anything to upset it. It might wake up. Im sick of this, he said, I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.There was no time to argue or apologize for being late.

A study(研究) of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast every day is helpful to young people.According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more calories (卡路里) in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they burn(燃烧) more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips, are usually unhealthy and full of calories.Another big advantage（有利方面） of eating breakfast is that it helps teenagers do better at school. This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.Whats more, a study in the UK showed that adults (成年人) who eat breakfast every day put on less weight and also perform better at work.Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.（1）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that _.

Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar. In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year from midnight on December 31st to January 1st, People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal(正式的)clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟) at midnight. During the first minute of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead, But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise. Many cultures also do special things to get rid of(摆脱)bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes, The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Years Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck he will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck on New Years Day. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck-but to get good luck for a whole year, you have to eat 365 of them!（1）
